How many synonyms for MONEY
Fenia ( the dictionary of criminal terms ) presents at least 26 synonyms for money. These are not spontaneously invented words but are a mustknow if you get locked/jailed in russian prison or socializing with the criminal world outside. Even the children are using some of them, some you might hear in russian movies and tv. I dunno but I imagine there are more not the criminal synonyms for money but lazy to recall them.

Then I've heard specific ones like "pineapple" for a $A 50 (same colour as a pineapple" and "drinking vouchers"
I hadn't heard pineapple. I was going to say a $50 dollar note is normally called an avocado in Australian currency. Almost the same colour as a pineapple :)
It seems some of synonyms you have listed kinda if you'd call your cock as an old fella. As if my old fella needs to be standing to full attention before u start standing doggy lol. Furthermore the major part of your synonyms are anything but what would have any slightest connection to money or to operations with money in its meaning like baksheesh, banknote, bankroll, boodle, capital, cash,coin,currency, dividends,pay, purse, treasure etc etc. IF going by this I would type around 1000+ so called synomyms for money. For example.let's take a simple situation. You really sure you would be quitely understood had you had to say something to the person you see for the 1st time something like just - sorry the problems with bacon/boodle/cheese/gold certificate/loot/sugar? You might be uderstood correctly had you have to say these in proper contect right old fella? go bullshit to Nigga. If you approach any 1st russian on the street and say something hey got a problem with lavandos/babki/lave/kapusta etc what would sound like Slushaiy problemiy s lavandosom/babkami/lave/kapustoiy you can be sure you will make every person know that you got problems with oscar! fuck Oscar who? with money. Go bullsjit elsewhere cronie
OK, Real Deal. I for one humbly concede that Russian has more synonyms for money than English has. I humbly concede the innate superiority of Russian over English, and of course over all other languages in the world, and possibly the universe.
Are you happy now?
Yay! I'm happy, we're all happy. Yippee!
Now I will quietly go away and leave everyone alone forever by celebrating my victory of Russki over Ingliski!

LoL, couldn't have said it any better ;-)
It seems like all of you have forgotten about ''bread''. ''bread'' was a slang term for money.
hey reel dale russki over ingliski sounds retarded. The correct pronunciation would be closer to russkogo over angliyskim. You sound like those retards in Hollywood who pretend to be russians.
Fight feet foot?
Who cares about the correct pronunciation?
